Dordt College Art Professor Versluis and University of Northern Iowa
Graphic Design Professor Behrens combine rich imagery as they juxtapose
representational imagery with graphic elements to create a strong
visual dynamic, says Larry Bradshaw, art professor at the University
of Nebraska Omaha.

\uc1\u8220?The process began in 2012 with me sending Roy scanned images
of insects from my personal collection. One image at a time, we challenged
each other to respond to each image, building a digital montage, using
Adobe Photoshop,\uc1\u8221? said Versluis. \uc1\u8220?We would then
pass the image back and forth, responding to each other\uc1\u8217?s
move.\uc1\u8221?

The image was built with about five or six back and forth turns, until
the two mutually decided that the work was finished.

This is one of the first times that the collection will be shown all
together. Various images from the collection have been exhibited in
group shows at the Washington Pavilion Visual Art Center in Sioux
\'46alls, South Dakota; Nemeth Art Center in Park Rapids, Minnesota;
University of Northern Iowa Gallery of Art in Cedar \'46alls, Iowa;
and the 27th McNeese National Works on Paper Exhibition at McNeese
State University Grand Gallery in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Several
pieces have been included in Dordt College\uc1\u8217?s annual arts
issue of{\i Pro Rege}.
